During their first-ever Malaysian stage at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, South Korean boy group Tomorrow X Together, also known as TXT, showed why they have stormed the K-pop and global music scene in recent years. As the perfect Valentine's Day gift for MOAs, all five members – Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai – showcased their powerful live vocals, synchronised choreography, and spectacular stage production, and delivered a heartfelt performance that kept the energy soaring from start to finish.
The lights went dark at 6pm. Massive screens at the main stage showed TXT dressed in outfits fit for royalty, before switching to a montage of them running in a field, then away from the crowd. The concert opened with stunning visual effects, immediately igniting the venue as the boys powered through a series of high-energy tracks.
In a surprise entrance, the members appeared from the audience, giving high-fives to fans and posing for a selfie or ten before scurrying to the extended stage to perform their 2021 track "LO$ER=LO♡ER", a song about finding solace in the world through the escape of a person you adore. The song is a familiar favourite among MOAs, and one that gets us jumping and head bobbing to the punk-rock style guitar and drum beat.
The excitement continued with hit tracks such as "Blue Hour", which features an upbeat, almost funk-like dance break, and "Blue Orangeade" as their charismatic stage presence and infectious energy drew thunderous cheers from fans celebrating TXT's first-ever concert in Malaysia, which also happens to be the final stop on their "ACT: TOMORROW" world tour. They moved in unison, pushing powerful arm gestures in tight, tactical motions. Even when they let loose, throwing a smirk or a wink toward the crowd, it appeared effortless.
The boys expressed their heartfelt gratitude throughout the night. "We've finally come to Kuala Lumpur to meet you!" Taehyun excitedly shared. Yeonjun, on the other hand, praised the crowd's powerful cheers and even hyped up the arena in Malay by shouting, "Jerit semua!", further igniting the atmosphere. Beomgyu and Hueningkai also expressed how impressed they were by Malaysian MOAs' enthusiasm, while leader Soobin promised to give their all for the show and reflected emotionally. "As this is the final stop of the tour, we hope to create the most beautiful memories together tonight."
Beyond their commanding group performances, each member shone in a slew of standalone acts. Taehyun delivered an emotional, majestic rendition of "Bird of Night", highlighting his delicate vocals. Soobin radiated youthful charm with a perky rendition of "Sunday Driver". Meanwhile, Hueningkai transformed into a charismatic performer with "Dance With You", showcasing his magnetic stage presence. Yeonjun flaunted a laid-back yet powerful vibe for "Ghost Girl" and "Talk To You", demonstrating his explosive artistry. Yellow confetti fell as Beomgyu rounded out the solo stages with the soulful ballad "Take My Half", drawing the crowd into a tender moment.
The boys also performed fan-favourite hits including "Crown", "No Rules", and "Deja Vu". When the iconic intro of "0X1=LOVESONG" echoed through the venue, fans spontaneously erupted into a massive singalong, deeply moving the members on stage. Adding an element of surprise, TXT delighted fans with varied encore performances of "Wishlist" and "Do It Like That", stepping off the stage to interact closely with the audience, bringing the night to its emotional peak. Throughout the night, MOAs – with their hand-hearts, lightsticks, and screams, showed the boys they were loved.
As the concert drew to a close, the members reflected on their journey since debut and expressed sincere gratitude to MOAs. Taehyun shared warmly, "We've created so many precious memories together. Why did we only come to Kuala Lumpur at the final stop? We should have come here earlier!" Beomgyu and Yeonjun thanked fans for their unwavering support, while Hueningkai promised that TXT would return to Malaysia soon. "It's truly a blessing that the final stop was Malaysia, because your passion is incredible," Soobin concluded emotionally.
